This type of structures can be used to conceive novel Electromagnetic-Band Gap (EBG) waveguides and low-profile high-gain leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). The analysis technique is divided in several steps, which have been implemented in a software tool using MATLAB®, and which are explained in detail in this work. The advantages and limitations of the proposed method are also described. Comparisons with full-wave simulations are presented to validate this analysis tool. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Superficies selectivas en frecuencia %K Curva de dispersión %K Guía de onda %K MATLAB %K Leaky wave %K Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) %K Dispersion curve %K Waveguide %K Electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
